Intend to Defend. Even if you pay in full before an agreed due date, they still may pursue legal action in hopes you won't show up in court. In most states, if you don't appear in court to defend yourself, the plaintiff WILL WIN by default-even if they fail to appear. Then, you will have a judgment against you for an amount you already paid them. These type of places will try to collect twice! This is the part that seems very illegal to me. Be careful. Do not take anyone's word over the phone. Keep records of screenshots, ALL agreements, transactions and any other paperwork from this company. You will need it. In the end, after they wasted my time and money, it worked itself out. However, if you look online, you will see horror stories from others.
I called this "law firm" trying to get basic information from them as they have sent a relative a notice of suit. However, when I called I talked to a representative and simply asked whether he could tell me t statute of limitations in the state of WV. He said he had no idea. When I asked how they kept up with who they could legally sue he became irate and screamed at me saying "Who are you and why are you calling here? If you don't have a lawsuit with us don't call." I called a second time....a female answered and I politely asked for their license number to do business in the state of WV. She also became irate and said "who goes around with a license number in their pocket?" This was on speaker so my family sat there shocked. I again asked about statute of limitations and was told I need to get a lawyer along with some other screaming comments from her. I then informed her that they were obviously the subject of numerous lawsuits and that she clearly was too stupid to have a job if she could not answer basic questions. These people are vultures. No legitimate firm would behave this way. I doubt there is a lawyer even on the premises. I look forward to seeing my relative go to court on the breach of fair debt collection practices.
Very deceptive company. Took money out of my 70 year old parents account because I was a authorized signer on the their account. Placed a lien on my house for more than I owe. Called company 3 times about these issues and all I got is the run around no straight answers. Can’t get a supervisor to return my calls.
Debt was paid in 2017 and I have paperwork to prove. May 1st of 2018 Fenton & McGarvey placed a bank levy against me and wiped out my checking account. They will not return calls nor do I ever get to speak with a real person. I have sat on hold for the next available person for over 2 hours on 3 different occasions and have left at least 15 messages on their voicemail. This company is awful. I'll give them the rest of this week more week then I will seek the advice of a competent lawyer to get this settled. I dont understand how they can legally still be in business with the many complaints against them.
Fast and hot and a wide selection.
